Intended Audience: The primary audience for this course is Agile/Scrum Product Owners who are responsible for leading Agile Projects from a business perspective. The Product Owner role in Agile is a very demanding role. The Product Owner in Agile is the role primarily responsible for the success or failure of the project from a business perspective and is often known as "The CEO of the project". Many existting courses for Product Owners such as Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) are primarily focused on the basic "mechanics" of how to do Scrum. This course goes well beyond that to provide a much deeper understanding of how to be an effective Agile Product Owner.
In addition to the Product Owner role, this course will also appeal to
Business Analysts - who work in an Agile environment and need to optimize their skills to provide a high level of value in that environment
Business Sponsors - who want to learn more about Agile Project Management in order to provide more effective leadership for the initiatives that they are responsible for

​Overall Agile Business Management Curriculum
This course is part of an overall curriculum designed for business people to effectively participate and lead in an Agile environment. Agile significantly changes the role of business people in leading and managing projects and requires a much more active business leadership role to guide the direction of projects that are in progress. The overall curriculum consists of three primary courses:​
1. Agile BM 101 - Introduction to Agile Business Management
This course povides a solid foundation for the other courses in this overall curriculum and helps all business personnel develop a solid understanding of how to implement a hybrid approach that blends the two approaches in the right proportions to fit any given situation
2. Agile BM 201 - Mastering Agile Business Management (this course)
This course is designed to provide a much deeper understanding of how to effectively lead Agile/Scrum projects for anyone in a Product Owner role or in an equivalent level of business responsibility.

3. Agile BM 301 - Enterprise-level Agile Business Management

Alignment and Value Disciplines

Why Is This Curriculum Important?
In a traditional, plan-driven project management environment,
A large part of the management of a project can be delegated to a project manager, and
Once the business requirements for the project are documented and approved by the business, the business role in providing leadership and management of the project can be limited.
In an Agile environment,
The requirements and the design of the solution evolve and are further refined as the project progresses
For that reason, it is essential that the business is much more directly involved in providing leadership and direction to the project as it progresses
In order to provide effective leadership and direction to projects, the business people who are either directly or indirectly involved in Agile projects need to fully understand how the process works in order to participate collaboratively in the process with the project teams who are responsible for developing the solution.
Many existing courses for business people in an Agile environment such as Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) are limited to the "mechanics" of how to do Agile and are limited to a pure Agile approach. This course goes into much more depth to give business people a very solid and deeper understanding of both Agile/Scrum as well as traditional plan-driven project management and how to successfully apply it in a business environment.​
